ChainCatcher news, U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty, who supports cryptocurrency, has released a legislative discussion draft aimed at creating a regulatory framework for stablecoins, which is very similar to the ongoing work in the House of Representatives. Republican Hagerty stated in a press release on Thursday that his legislative draft "provides much-needed regulatory clarity." The draft is very close to the "Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act" drafted in the House by Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry and Democrat Maxine Waters.

Hagerty's draft adopts the structure of the House bill while dividing federal regulation into the Federal Reserve's oversight of banks and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's oversight of non-bank entities. The draft will include a provision that issuers exceeding a $10 billion threshold may receive exemptions from federal regulators and continue to be governed by their respective states. The legislative draft also includes maintaining dollar-denominated foreign exchange reserves on a one-to-one basis.
